Here is the question that I ask to everyone, Why did we join Trisquel?
First of all, no one told anything about Trisquel, or FSF philosophy.
I learn by researching and experimenting. Matter fact not even, GNU/LINUX.
Honestly, I was trying to salvage my old laptop, with a new OSI. Replacing
the polluted win95. Since them, I'm a different person when it comes to
understand the difference of Libre and proprietary software.
Respectfully. my humble beginnings started with an old commodore 64, from
which I learn "basic", then I was a real hardcore of learning "DOS",and a bit
of c+.
In the other hand, One day, I was introduce to UNIX with a Solaris sun
spark terminal by a good friend of mines, I love that darn machine, yet my
Unix experience was short lived because, I moved out of the area and did
learn a new trade which took me into communications hardware, which I made
lots of money from, which I retired. Still UNIX was there expose all the
time.
Even do I don't like the looks of Mr.RMS, Yet his Philosophy is embedded in
my thinking.
That I will quit, Trisquel in the future?, it does not indicates, that I
will revert to proprietary, There is alternatives of different libre OSI.
Matter fact, Today I formatted one of my PC's to parabola Libre, and Its not
for light minded people.
The FSE PARABOLA is very well documented and once you domain the helm of
Parabola is even ten times better than Trisquel, their updates are continuous
and with the latest technologies and you have the chance to customize your
desktop in accord to your need and taste. Not govern, by some single minded
developer telling you what he thinks is best.
Yet Trisquel, in my own small business entrepreneur spirit, owning my very
own internet cafe, Most of all my machines were using Trisquel and all my
software was Gnu license. nothing was pirated.
At the beginning it was hard, but when the Computer programmers from my near
college discover that my machines were GNU/LINUX then my business was good.
Until I sold out for triple of my initial investment.
I even upload TRISQUEL mini to 10 machines.
Thank You Ruben for making my day with Trisquel. My decision is not personal
but business. I always be loyal to the FSF cause but not TRISQUEL!! UNLESS
YOU FIX VER7. Then maybe I will come back.
